everyone is different. a lot of the women on my forums didn't like Mirena only because of their sensitivity to hormones. hence why i went on the Paraguard IUD, it's great becuse it has no hormones and no weight gain or anything..
the Deppo, from experience and all my friends who went on it.. ruined my life personally.. i was on it for 1 year, and it was great, no periods at all.. but the weight gain was horrific and crept up on me before i knew it, I had went from 90lbs size double zero.. to a 160lbs size 9.. and this was awful looking on me because im very short and EVERYONE used to make fun of me.. and needless to say i did get depressed from it.. it took me soo long to lose the weight from the deppo.. and when i did, i got preggo LOL..
but i thnk you should talk to you ob/gyn and see what they recommend for you and your lifestyle and what works easiest for you. i couldn't for the life of me remember to take the pill everyday so it didn't work for me.. a co-worker likes using the Nuva-ring so that could be an option too.. 
whatever you decide good luck..  |
Aww thanks girl, I am one of those people that birth control just isn't for me with hormones and everything else. Thats why I was looking into an IUD with no hormones. I lose and gain weight at a drop of a dime and taking the pill doesn't help me AT ALL! Thanks for your input I really appreciate it!
